Family Visits

We had a great day this past Saturday. John and kids let me sleep in until 11am. I felt so spoiled! Then, John took Caitlin to the gun range, where she proceeded to show off her Annie Oakley skills. That girl can target shoot, I'm here to tell you!
Mom and Dad invited us over for dinner, and my Uncle Kelly, his wife Vicki, and their daughter Madison were there visiting. We ate, hung out and the kids played for a while. We then decided to go bowling. Mom stayed home with Caroline, and the rest of us went and had a blast. The funny part was when I noticed on the scoreboard that there was a place that kept track of how fast you threw the ball (how many mph). John, Dad, and Kelly began a contest to see who could throw the fastest. Soon, what started as an innocent game of bowling became a crazy show of strength. :) John had them beat with 22.68 mph all the way until the last 3 frames. Dad surprised him and threw one that went 23.10 mph, and John had no time to recover. Dad won!! From what I hear, he used to be an awesome bowler back in the day *wink*. Way to go Dad! So sorry for you John...lol
Also, let it be known that I was ahead at one point, beating out Dad, Kelly, and John. It didn't last, but it was nice. :)

Side Note: When going bowling with men that are 6'4", 6'5", and 6'6", finding shoes is a trip. Did you even know they made size 15 bowling shoes?!?

Caroline with her Great Uncle Kelly
Caitlin, Christian, and their cousin Madison playing in the yard...Christian has a shark face on his head that he would wear on his mouth and chase the girls around
Dad bowling
John showing his stuff
Christian bowling--and I might add that he did it by himself!
Yup--sadly this is me bowling. Thanks a lot John! lol
Caitlin and her funny way of bowling. She did throw a strike or two this way!

I did actually know that they made a size 15 because that's what size my husband wears...might I add...our children have no hope when it comes to finding shoes b/c he wears a 15 and I wear an 11.
